Keep in mind that during the boot process, towards the end, unused
clocks get disabled, so the state remains in sync. If suddenly the
enable_count on unused clocks is not 0, this will break and unused
clocks will remain on, wasting power.

What issue were you having that prompted you to write this patch?

Cheers,
